Chapter 32

Tak.u.mi-san!」

We visit the Adventurer’s Guild today. It’s to complete the procedures required for us to receive the Gaya Forest expedition request reward.

Risner-sama said to come to the guild to receive the reward the other day.

When we enter the building, Luna-san jumps out from behind the counter.

「Luna-san? What’s the matter?」

「I was waiting for you!! Now then, let’s go to the Guild Master! Hey, quickly! Allen-kun, Elena-chan too, come quickly」

「「!! Onii~chan~」」

Guild Master?

While not understanding, Luna-san drags me deeper into the guild, and takes me to the Guild Master’s office. Allen and Elena trot after me while confused.

「Master, Tak.u.mi-san has arrived so I brought him」

「Ah, come in」

When Luna-san knocked at the door and stated her business, she immediately received a response from the other side.

When I opened the door, I saw a man with gray hair sitting on the front office desk. The man stands from his chair and shows us inside.

「I work as the Master of Shirin’s Adventurer’s Guild. Johann is my name」

「I’m Tak.u.mi Kayano. These children are Allen and Elena. It’s nice to meet you」

This man is the Guild Master. He seems to know about me, but I introduced myself just in case.

The Guild Master urges us to sit on a sofa in the middle of the room. I sit on the sofa as told, Allen and Elena sit on both of my sides.

「……. This man? He doesn’t seem like it…… However, if Ruven-dono and Rudolph-dono are saying so, it can’t be wrong……」

Wald-sama and Rudolph-san?

While I let Allen and Elena sit down on the sofa, the Guild Master mutters something to himself. I wasn’t able to hear properly, but the two’s names came up, right?

「…… Umm?」

「Oh no, I was told leaving your rank as is would be foolish. However, you don’t look that strong to me……」

It appears that the business was about a rank up.

Which reminds me, Wald-sama and Rudolph-san were talking about something like that in the Gaya Forest. The talk went quite quickly……

And then, the Guild Master looks directly at me and states bluntly.

「Don’t think badly of me. I have initially raised to the post of Guild Master by doing secretary work, I don’t know much about fighting. But, seeing adventurers for so long I have developed an eye for strong individuals, but…… unlike the other adventurers I have seen before…… I don’t understand well…」

To adventurers, being told『You don’t look that strong』is something that would make them angry.

Actually, since my neurons were destroyed once before……

Therefore, the Guild Master’s standard for judging adventurers can’t be applied to me.

Also, the aura of the strong? Is it because I don’t have something like that?

At any rate, I didn’t go through the “getting stronger little by little” process, so it’s impossible to have that.

「…… Well, you real ability was without a doubt endorsed by those two. I intend to make you an A-Rank」

「Eeh? A-Rank!?」

I thought it would be C-Rank, but A-Rank?

To be honest, I got so surprised a strange voice left my mouth.

「What about examination and such?」

「There’s no problem since Ruven-dono and Rudolph-dono confirmed your ability. You have defeated b.l.o.o.d.y Wolves and Evil Viper, right?」

You have completely given up your judgment of me not looking that strong, didn’t you…… is it okay to rank up that easily?

Whether it is a n.o.bility and captain of the Knight Wald-sama or Rudolph-san who is a high-rank adventurer who guaranteed my ability, it is, after all, information from someone else. But, if the Guild Master accepted it so quickly, he must trust those two quite a lot.

「So, an A-Rank?」

「The Guild Master’s authority can grant rank only up to A-Rank. An approval of several Guild Masters is needed for S-Rank, so that’s indeed impossible for me」

It’s the opposite, opposite! I was uneasy because my rank raised too much!

n.o.body can complain about not becoming an S-Rank!

「According from what I heard, those children are also strong. What do you want to do?」

「…… What to do?」

「I can also give rank to these children, but if children like that receive a high rank it will most likely have the opposite effect. But, if they at E-Rank you won’t be able to accept high-rank requests because your party will stay at low level」

Ah, indeed.

Because the members’ average rank determines the party rank, the party rank at this rate would be “D” I think?

It’s not problem for me, but if the Guild needed me to take a request I would be able to……

He asked for our convenience rather than going straight for the profit first.

Chirari, when I glance at Allen and Elena, they obediently sit while smiling at me. They are not alerted at all.

It’s no doubt that this Guild Master is a good person.

In that case, let’s compromise.

「I’m okay without raising the rank of the two, but…… if it’s a problem for the guild how about increasing their rank to D?」
